The Spartans are descended from Herakles, the Great Lion. The lion is our bloodline. Leonidas has boldly attested to the ancestor of the three-hundred Spartans, for he is also a lion. His roar ripped through the ranks of the enemy, tearing their hearts to shreds. Its fierce leonine echo moves through each Spartan heart. Even as he lay dying, Leonidas roared and lay waste to the shadow of instant defeat. In his death, the roar of a lion was louder than ever.
